1 to 1 PA/Support Workers

Community Outreach

CQC Rated GOOD

Headway Birmingham & Solihull is able to offer 1 to 1 Support Workers for brain injured people either at a date rate as part of our ABI Day Programmes or on an hourly basis (min 3.5 hours).  This is not a dom care service, (though we can provide elements of personal care as deemed relevant),  it is aimed at enabling and training people in their home and community and supporting greater independence. The Lifestyle  support service offers brain injured people the opportunity to develop and maximise their skills, independence and achieve personal goals.

To be able to access the community again with support, to attend social                                               activities, sports, appointments and develop their                                                                             daily living skills. The service can help people with                                                                   volunteering and getting back to work.  The PA/Support 

Worker can also help people to attend appointments,

pay bills and much more.  The service has also

enabled many brain injured people to have a 

holiday again.

In many cases this will also provide much needed

respite to the rest of the family.

 

This flexible service offers a confidential person-centered

assessment to create an individual support plan for the brain

injured person, enabling them to pursue personal goals, life

skills such as cookery and budgeting and redevelop social skills

and pursuits.
